On January 13th, the Watches department will offer for auction a Rolex Sea-Dweller “Comex”  steel diving wristwatch, ref. 1665, circa 1980, as well as a Patek Philippe ref. 3970 wristwatch chronograph with perpetual calendar and moon phases. Each is estimated at €80,000 - 120,000.

As part of the Le Temps est Féminin auction dedicated to ladies' watches, a platinum, enamel and diamond Jaeger-Lecoultre “Art Deco” wristwatch will be offered for auction (€25,000 - 50,000). Another Patek Phillipe yellow gold wristwatch will complete this set. This timepiece belonged to the wife of Andre Chaumeix, to whom he had given it as a gift. Andre Chaumeix was a literary critic, journalist – including editor-in-chief of Le Figaro from 1926 to 1930 – and member of the Académie Française (€8,000 - 12,000).

On January 14th, the Jewellery auction will honour Harry Winston with a ring set with an exceptional 6.96 carat Type IIa diamond, colour D, clarity VVS2 (€150,000 - 200,000), as well as Graff with a ring set with a magnificent 10.97-carat Fancy Yellow diamond (€120,000 - 150,000), and Chaumet with a superb platinum necklace from the 1950s, formed of a river of half-cut diamonds weighing 38.40 carats (€25,000 - 35,000). Finally, Artcurial will present a rare set of jewellery that belonged to the Duchess of Angoulême, daughter of Marie-Antoinette and Louis XVI, entirely set with smoky quartz, also known as “Alençon diamonds” at the time, a truly historic piece (€6,000 - 8,000).
